    Amateur hour.

    Somehow certain folks seem to think it is easy to make a war movie. It is not. Credibility is needed firstmost when one makes a war movie. In other words: does it look real and daunting and shocking? Well, this movie doesnt come close to anything resembling a real war movie. Total amateur hour!

    I could rest my case there. But there is a lot more wrong with this so called "war movie". It looks cheaply madel Incredibly cheap. I guess it was meant for television and they upped it for a release in the cinema. BiG Mistake!

    The actors are beyond terrible. They act as if it is a schoolplay for petes sake. So embarrassing.

    I could only yawn when watching this insult of a "war movie". And the Finnish accents sound like Kermit the Frog on acid. Completely silly and laughable amateurish!

    Different, mystical and realistic in one

    This one is different from most war movies. It has a quite mystical storyline and vibe, taking you across multiple locations, yet it feels very realistic. The sounds and effects have great impact and gives a great feel, especially when experienced in a movie theater. It's definitely not your basic Hollywood action movie, however, it's obviously not meant to be it either. This will probably not please everyone, but for those who are into artsy stuff, this will most likely hit the bullseye.
